    If Tangmere 1940’s photograph was taken at Cosford or Shawbury it it is not the aircraft our parts come from. I think the engines on Tony Agar’s Mosquito came from NT616 via a scrapyard

    Thanks Mark12 for the photos what a waste! The photo from Tangmere 1940 may be the aircraft we are looking for as the main spar on the U/C unit we have has been cut with a saw just outboard of the engine cowling.

    Mark12 many thanks for the information & serials at least we can now tie the bits down to 1 of 5 known aircraft. We would very much like to use copies of the photographs with the items when they go on display in our new display hall full credit will be given, would this be ok?

    If the Mosquito’s were there in the late 1950’s they could well have been broken up & burnt in the 1960’s with the remains that we now have being all that was left lying in the undergrowth

    The items have been well burnt at some stage at Halton. They were removed by a BBC employee working on “Wings” at the time and were given to the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum where they are instore.

    Twin Otter There has been no loan agreement for the F100 & Mystere at Lashenden since the end of 2007 when it was terminated by mutual agreement following the accident. So I presume we would not be involved in any meeting that takes place but will still be stuck with the 2 aircraft that the NMUSAF seem to have washed their hands of.

    Junk Collector is correct following the accident in 2007 involving the Super Sabre & a crashing Turbo Beaver the NMUSAF offered us the chance to return both the Super Sabre & the Mystere to themselves for scraping at NO COST to the museum, this offer was taken up by the museum. Since then the NMUSAF have refused to cominicate with us ignoring all atempts by the museum to resolve the problem. The museum trustees have now decided to give the NMUSAF 3 months notice of their intention to scrap the aircraft if they are not removed as the airfields owners want them removed within 3 months!

    For those that had trouble finding he museum at last years Combined Ops the museum is at the eastern end of the airfield, the show is at the western end. When you enter the airfield from the car park you will have Wings bar on the right and a large silver hangar in front of you. If you turn right instead of entering the show & follow the line of the silver hangar go through the gate into the field by the parachute club/cafe/flying school/ATC there is a large green hanger behind the Thurston Helicopter building in front of you the museum is located by the green hanger. If you wish to visit the show before visiting the museum you can have your hand stamped so that you can get back into the show after visiting the museum
